Hiking and Backpacking Gear Reviews

Outdoor Product Reviews

Get any group of hikers and backpackers together and the conversation will undoubtedly turn to gear. As a group, we are obsessed with weight, fabric, stitching, arch support, and the list goes on and on.

GoHikeGo is no different, and the amount of outdoor gear stored in the garage just sprinted by legendary hoarder status. The good news is that through the process of accumulation we have gained a deep knowledge of what makes quality backpacking gear. Before you ask, you cannot throw away my Outdoor Research gators I found in the Big Bear Hostel hiker box, and this is just one of the many treasures found in the heap.
